Two countries. Nine days of trail. One trip you'll be telling stories about forever.
From the quiet of Valle Mosso to the icons of the Swiss Alps, this is the full alpine traverse — high refuges, mirror lakes, glacier-fed rivers, and summit views that rearrange your sense of scale.
Touch down at Milan Malpensa and head straight to the foothills of the Italian Alps. In serene Valle Mosso, a thorough safety briefing, a full gear check, and a quiet moment to prepare for nine days of adventure.
Journey to the remote village of Champoluc and ascend toward Refugio Mezzalama at 3,000 metres, pausing at the stunning Lago Blu. A four-hour hike that introduces you to true alpine beauty.
Drive the iconic Aosta Valley, stopping at cascading waterfalls nestled among the peaks. End the day in Courmayeur with Mont Blanc on full display — the perfect place to acclimatise before crossing into France.
In world-famous Chamonix, immerse yourself in outdoor culture, then hike to Lac Blanc where awe-inspiring views of Mont Blanc await — adventure and beauty in equal measure.
Cross into Switzerland and explore Zermatt, walking the thrilling Randa Suspension Bridge — one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the Alps.
Embark on the famous Five Lakes Hike, capturing that mirror-like reflection of the Matterhorn across still, glassy alpine water.
Venture to the Swiss capital and discover its hidden gem — swimming in a pristine river. Then set sail in a rubber boat, floating 20 miles down a glacier-fed stream. Exhilarating, yet serene.
Head to Interlaken and the Jungfrau Region. Stop at Grindelwald and marvel up close at the north face of the Eiger.
Ride the highest railway in Europe, pause at the Eiger Glacier, and reflect with a well-earned rest — and perhaps a beer — before the journey nears its end.
Travel to picturesque Lake Como. Glide across to Bellagio or head into Milan for a final stroll. As the sun sets over Como, reflect on an unforgettable adventure before flying home from Milan.
